Pills for every ill. Viruses that we must inoculate ourselves against. Treating the body as a machine. This is the allopathic model of medicine and it completely inverts and subverts who we are as conscious human beings. Today, Mark Gober, the author of the "Upside Down" series of books, busts many modern medical myths. He tackles many of our assumptions about contagion, who we are as human beings, and how we heal.

Sometimes homesteading is idealized and you get stars in your eyes, thinking it'll be so perfect... until it's not. Aimee and John Willis of Vintage Meadows tell the story of how a health crisis made them pivot from their original life goals into homesteading. They bought 4 acres and gave it a go. Then they had to sell it all and start all over, and over, and over again. You might call it a failure, a pivot, or simply relatable – but whatever it is, it shows the resilience of two people who want to nurture themselves and their community well and who haven't thrown in the towel just yet.

Shots, nutrient-deficient diets, and pesticides are negatively impacting our children's health...and have been for some time. Today, Zen Honeycutt, founder and president of Moms Across America, offers startling insights on the serious damage and repercussions of all of the above. She discusses studies that points to the fact that our children are getting more toxins than nutrients in their lunches, and she shares her own personal heartbreaking loss and why this is making her more determined than ever to fight on behalf of our nation's children. She also shares where she aligns with the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement and where she sees a need for improvement.

Life is complicated and challenging. There is beauty and heartache...and somehow also beauty IN the heartache. In a timely message, Tara Couture, the author of "Radiance of the Ordinary", communicates how she processes and manages to embrace it all.
On Tara's Slowdown Farmstead in Canada, she has dealt with the mundane -- from an ornery cow to issues obtaining raw milk -- to the unthinkable -- including the untimely death of her daughter. Tara reminds us that, amidst it all, life is still beauty-full.
